Buddha dazzled the judges for a second season in a row. The general idea of the final challenge was to cook a four-course meal with their own individual flair.

For Buddha, this meant starting out with rainbow trout that had a clam veloute. Next, he served the judges a blue lobster paired with a curry bisque. His third course was a lamb and roasted eggplant. Finally, he served the judges a great dessert of coconut, raspberry, and chocolate lamington.
